Overview
The Gasoline Engine Calibration Engineer is responsible for developing, testing, and validating vehicle-based calibrations that achieve world-class fuel economy and drivability meeting current and future emission standards.
The Engineer will plan, generate, and verify feature calibrations in hot climate, cold climate, and high altitude in accordance with powertrain system functional objectives along with generating reports to communicate the status of the program to the larger team. The candidate will manipulate and utilize large and complex sets of engine mapping data to analyze and solve complex system problems as they relate to engine performance, fuel consumption, emissions, OBD, and base engine calibration development.
The candidate will work cross functionally with engine development, powertrain controls and vehicle teams to identify and implement calibration solutions that achieve program drivability and emissions requirements.
The engineer will evaluate new engine and aftertreatment hardware and technology for future applications and analyze, plan, and solve complex system problems as they relate to calibration development. He/She will manipulate and utilize large and complex sets of data and actively participate in the development of standard hardware and calibration development processes and procedures. The engineer will participate in meetings with management, product design, and systems teams and present summaries and detailed reports on specific assignments, including timing projections.
This position combines multiple engineering disciplines to develop hardware and calibrate the engine management system of engines produced by the company. The candidate should expect to travel 4-6 weeks throughout the year for system validation/verification.
